Hey Ron -- you wouldn't be having a problem here if you had any idea what you are talking about. But, when you say something that is completely wrong, especially something that could harm a new person who comes here knowing nothing about this therapy, the knowledgeable people here will jump on you ...

I apologize if I missed it by why use 2 6V batteries when 12V deep cycle battery is readily available? I have a 12VDC/120VAC power pack that I keep at the ready. Have not yet tried it. The short story is that golf cart batteries have more amp hour capacity and are built different with wider spacing...

If you have a ratio of 70% CSA events to 30% OSA events that needs to be treated as a central sleep apnea condition or complex sleep apnea. You say you have a BiPAP machine, but depending on the level of sophistication of the machine, it may or may not be able to treat CSA very effectively. There ar...

Mine seem to last 7 years. They get heavy use 6 months of the year, then near total neglect during the winters. Hopefully with the solar panels keeping them well charged during the winter they'll go a few years longer. I try to replace them when they're down to about 80% capacity. When I got my las...

He's not worth it and already has proven he just wants to argue instead of learn. Let's try to not have a repeat of the mess we had last year. Sorry Pugsy, but that is what you are doing here, not me. I can easily believe you have had a mess for a long time with this forum. It has no effective mode...

I use the Airsense 10. Can I turn off the EPR with the normal menu? (I’m not at home in front of the machine right now.) I can on my machine, but just on or off, no ability to change the level. That said I recall I used the Clinical Menu to set an enhanced patient menu, so I don't know what that di...

Duplicate.

My doctor gave me a sample AirTouch F20 yesterday and it’s the first time I’ve ever used a full face mask. Is it normal for the mask to swell and fall with every breath? The swelling sensation on my face was very distracting and repeatedly woke me up throughout the night. Since I’ve never worn a fu...

That will work for my initial falling asleep. But not for my getting back to sleep as the noise and air movement even at low pressures can keep me awake. At the moment Auto gives me the quietest going to sleep environment for both falling asleep conditions. I am not aware of any problems occurring ...

And I'm doing research on the For Her version, thanks. I was under the impression it was just a different cover, but I see it has both "regular" and "for her" settings as well. If my male ego can handle it I don't see a reason not to get the for her. I guess there's always contact paper... I don't ...

By the way, I am a retired mechanical engineer, and I do know what I am talking about. What are your qualifications? OMG another engineer like the alphabet boy. God help us. My qualifications...hmmm...let me think on that one...as my first response is none of your effing business. But 9 years on cp...

My wife uses an S9 and it has about 10,000 hours on it. It is still working fine. The A10 does offer a few improvements, but not many. That said if you are buying new and don't have any unusual requirement, like an excessive number of central events, then the A10 is a good one to buy. I just did. Th...

Wow, Pugsy is an administrator here and you can't block her. Now I understand why this forum is the way it is. Too bad. There are many good contributors here that are actually trying to help others. By the way, I am a retired mechanical engineer, and I do know what I am talking about. What are your ...

You are so wrong here. The only bilevel machines that will force a person to breathe are those high end bilevel machines in the NIV category. The AirSense 10 VAuto is NOT in that category. You don't have a frigging clue what you are talking about when it comes to this complicated stuff. I suggest y...

I added two 100 watt panels on my boat - one on either side so that one always gets the full sun, and sometimes both. The result is my boat can be left unattended with the fridge running almost indefinitely. The fridge load is 35 to 50 AH, more than a cpap with full humidity (as long as its not thr...
